a u t o p h o b i a (n)- fear of being alone
i was never alone
in a forest or among daisies
with the birds and the bees
i was never alone
but one day changed everything
a word and later a lie
brought down the world i lived in
when the trees around me disappeared
and i was the sole in a bouquet
the bees no longer visited
the birds no longer chirped
a long drawn silence followed me
everywhere
i was now the sole survivor
i cried and ran
until my mind cried out clear
you are not alone
you'll always have me.
